PCN - All gone quiet??

Options
I recieved a PCN in Sept 2012, silly me didn't get round to paying it as we moved house, had a baby, etc etc. The reminders from the council turned into Marston's letters who added on ridiculous fees and then sent a bailiff twice to my door. I followed their complaints procedure regarding the crazy fees, emails went back and forth for a couple of weeks and the last i heard from Marston's was in October 2013. Not a peep since. I want to assume they've forgotten about me but I'm not that naive. Do i just let sleeping dogs lie? What do they normally do next when someone is refusing to pay?

    Think they have a year to collect then it has to go back, however bailiffs being the honest people they are can and resurrect things, also the address needs to be changed I think for it to be compliant.

    I suggest you ask on www.pepipoo.com on this as they have more experience on council tickets.

    Yes, let it lie. Lucky if you had received the PCN a month later (assuming you are in England/Wales) then the company could have pursued the registered keeper. However, before October 2012 the companies can only pursue the driver (who they cannot identify unless you've told them).

    This is a council penalty charge notice not a ppc ticket
